One of the simplest and most elegant forms of photography, the cyanotype print gives distinctive white-on-blue results that are simultaneously graphic, intricate and mysterious. Drawing on Victoria Glover's experience running workshops for beginners, this book will walk you through the process and presents a selection of projects for you to develop your skills.

You'll learn how to print onto a cushion cover, T-shirt, tote bag and lampshade. And you can take your creativity further, toning your prints and using long exposures to create surprising X-ray effects.

They all produce slightly unpredictable, one-of-a-kind designs. Working from her studio and retail space in Manchester, she creates lampshades, cushions, textiles and prints. Victoria also runs cyanotype workshops and has guided hundreds of beginners through the process, from mixing chemicals to finished print.
